Over the years, says the researcher, there have been many discussions about whether this is the true plume Tlatoani, "but the truth is that there is an inventory carried out by Hernán Cortés, which details each piece that were donated by the Mexican Emperor. " The term plume, defined, is ultimately "a part of everything that Moctezuma had in his palace, from gold to various objects of feather art."
